dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm hoping for a meeting that drags on a bit and ends level on aggregate Let's see if the curfew kicks in then and prevents the superheat to decide the title.... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is true, there are losses but I am not convinced any team runs many meetings at a loss. The play offs, because they are generally well supported are money spinners and sponsors like them because of TV and press coverage. If a team isn't in the playoffs, it doesn't mean that team is automatically loss making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 1 superheat (one on one) or series of golden heats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Looking forward to the War of the Roses battle, may the best team win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll make the rules up as they go along (as they always do). Sheffield may even "do a Belle Vue" and find some way to bring Szmarzlick in as a late reserve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one Superheat with 2 riders from each team. The scoring is 4,3,2,0. The Golden Heats format is only in the Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden Heats format is only in the Championship In Premiership League Cup, after the conclusion of a 2 legged tie the scores are level, a Super Heat will be used to determine the winner. I believe in League (not Cup) we will see Golden Heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 It appears that Belle Vue have used an old average for Brennan on their preview for tonight's final so it looks like he should be at reserve. You would have thought they could have got that correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it being suggested that BV 'fixed' his average to get him demoted to reserve, and hence eligible for seven rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace no.5 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 What are you lot on about now? Brennan is riding at 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not saying that, it just has the wrong average on the preview but still has him riding at number 4 so nothing dodgy just it looks like with the average listed he should be at reserve.

Ive always thought the team that finishes top at the end of the regular season should be crowned champions and im not changing my opinion because my team are involved, we have finished top and lost out too, injury again. Obviously i want the Aces to win but it wont feel the same as winning over the full season and sitting on top of the pile. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget though that the fixtures weren't even completed, so Ipswich could have still finished top... We will never know. Still can't believe in a 6 team league with a really decent summer fixtures weren't completed. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many stay away from regular season matches seeing the as only qualifiers and turn out for the play offs? Could be counter productive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazS Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 well for some reason im feeling excited about this meeting more than i have for a long time, ill be going and just wish i could stand on the back stright where we used to stand back in the good old days 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I like the fact that the two Premiership play off meetings are in the same week, don't remember that happening before and the fact that the result is still in the balance which is a great thing too. Belle Vue messed up last year, they should have won, the blame cannot be put on Kurtz being injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem obsessed with blaming BV and Lemon for defeat when P'boro were the best team across the season and deserved to win the Play Offs. Belle Vue were simply beaten by the better (best) team. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
